Noticed that Channel 9 showed live coverage of swimming championships from Montreal, Canada. From my memory, I think Ray Warren, Nicole Livingstone and Duncan Armstrong had to fly up to Canada to commentate on the swimming championships.
I noticed that Channel Ten showed a repeat of Murder She Wrote at midday.
I remember Ray had a fear of flying hence he didn’t fly to many of the overseas swimming events, though he eventually overcame it when he flew to London for Nine’s coverage of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
This was the start of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London on the Nine Network and Foxtel. Realised that GEM also came onboard to simulcast the coverage in HD. I wonder what Channel 9’s commentary team looked like during the London 2012 Games. TMK, Peter Donegan called the athletics on both Nine and Foxtel, Mark Nicholas hosted London Gold on Nine.
Realised that they had the temporary 3D channel telecast on Channel 95. The 3D telecast showed signs of highlights of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Not to mention that GEM came along to simulcast the Games in HD (except for the NRL being shown on GEM in WA).
During Saturday Mornings, 7mate would replay an AFL match from the previous night.
Ten broadcasted a Saturday arvo match between Western Bulldogs and West COast (in which the Eagles held on to win by 8 points). During the evening, Ten showed the Fremantle v Hawks game at 6:30pm on delay, while WIN showed the match at 5:30pm live
